Chapter 91

◎It's raining【End of text】◎

When they got home, Aunt Han asked Liu Susu to lie down, covered her tightly with a quilt, and asked if she was cold.

Liu Susu smiled and shook her head: "

It's not cold anymore. Thank you, second aunt." "What's there to thank you for? I'll make some medicine for you."

The doctor prescribed anti-fetal medicine, which was traditional Chinese medicine, but this time, even if it tasted terrible, Liu Susu could accept it.

"Okay." After drinking the medicine, she fell asleep, and when she woke up, she felt that it was already dark.

Liu Susu was stunned, had she slept for so long? Before she could react, she heard a voice coming from next to her.

Liu Susu: "..."

It's dark, it's clearly these little guys blocking the light.

The school holidays are now much earlier than before, and the final exams are over. Today, the children have to go to collect the notices, so they are not at home.

She propped herself up and sat up. She was about to ask them if the teacher had assigned anything. During the winter vacation homework, she heard Han Cheng carefully lying on her belly, concentrating on her, as if listening to something.

Liu Susu turned on the light in confusion, and Han Cheng raised her little head: "Mom, why didn't my sister make any movement?" Liu Susu

was slightly startled, knowing that Aunt Han had told the children about her pregnancy, and smiled: " It's only two months, and he's still so young, how can there be any movement?"

Han Cheng was originally very anxious. Ever since he heard his aunt said that his mother was pregnant, he was super happy and wanted to meet his sister as soon as possible. His mother had just gone to bed She didn't dare to wake him up, so when she woke up, she dared to stick her head over to hear what her sister was doing inside her belly.

"How long do we have to wait? I want to play with my sister so much!" Han Cheng asked anxiously.

Just as Liu Susu was about to answer, Han Qian pulled Han Cheng off: "How did you know she was a sister? What if she was a younger brother?" "

Because I want a younger sister. Brother, do you want a younger brother?" Han Cheng asked.

Han Qian had not thought about it, but when he asked him this question, he suddenly paused. He looked at the silly brother in front of him, then at his mother, then turned around and said: "I want a sister! Mother, I want it." Sister!"

If he wants a sister who is as beautiful as his mother, he will be very, very good to her!

Han Xiuxiu also wanted a sister, but she was an older child and not as naive as her two younger brothers. She first asked Liu Susu: "Mom, if we want a sister, can we have a sister?"

Liu Susu: "... ..."

This is really not certain, but it is not likely to dampen the enthusiasm of the children. Liu Susu thought for a while and said: "Brothers and sisters are possible, but if you keep thinking about your sister, maybe you can really have a sister?"

These words As soon as it came out, the eyes of several children were bright. Han Jin thought for a while, took his little hands out of his sleeves, gently placed them on Liu Susu's belly, then wrinkled his little nose, opened and closed his little mouth, and looked at her. There are words.

Liu Susu was stunned and looked at him with interest: "What are you doing?"

Han Jin shushed: "Mom, I'm shouting, sister, I can't, say it out."

Saying it won't work!

These words inspired Han Xiuxiu, who was about to call her sister, but after hearing these words, she quickly fell silent and whispered: "Then let me go and get the headband, okay?" It

was her favorite headband. , I have been keeping it and was reluctant to use it, but now I can give it to my sister!

Xiaolu thought about it and started walking outside. His father was not at home. He was the eldest brother. He wanted to catch chickens for his sister to eat so that she could grow up after she was born!

Liu Susu couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this. It was freezing outside, so of course she couldn't go out. She blocked the path, called several children over, and patted the edge of the bed: "Come, sit here."

The little ones quickly lined up in a row . Sit down, raise your head and look over obediently.

Liu Susu thought for a moment and said, "My sister is still very young now. She will have to wait eight months before she can come out to play with you, so we don't have to worry for now, okay?" "And you

care so much about my sister. Mom is really happy."

It's true. In fact, after confirming that she was pregnant, Liu Susu was first surprised. After the surprise was over, she was a little worried.

I am worried that the children at home will not be able to accept this little guy.

In later generations, there will be many children who have conflicts with their parents because their parents gave birth to a second child. In this regard, we need to pay special attention to it, especially the inner thoughts of the older children. If you want the children to get along harmoniously, you cannot just focus your energy on them. Put it on the small one.

Moreover, their family's situation is even more special. Xiaolu, Xiaojin and Xiuxiu are all adopted, so they will feel even more insecure.

Under normal circumstances, Liu Susu would definitely have made an agreement with the children before thinking about having children, but because of the results of the previous hospital examination, she thought she would never have another child in this life, so she did not go this way. think.

Now that the pregnancy test suddenly came out, I must tell the children clearly.

However, she did not expect that the little ones were not afraid or worried at all, and were just looking forward to the birth of their sister. She was happy and relieved at the same time.

If this happens, it means that the children are living happily in this family. Not only will they not worry about the arrival of a new child, which will cause them to lose their family's attention, but they will also have extra love to share with their other sister.

The little guys are really well raised.

Liu Susu thought about it, feeling a little proud in her heart.

She smiled and held the children in her arms, and said softly: "But I hope you can remember one thing. No matter whether your mother gives birth to a brother or a sister, you are all your children. I will treat you six Everyone is treated equally. Not only me, but also dad and aunts, will love you all the same, do you understand?"

Liu Susu was afraid that the children would not understand, so she deliberately spoke a little slower, and saw a few little ones acting suspiciously. After thinking about it, he asked: "What's wrong?"

Xiaolu said: "Mom, it can't be the same. My sister is so young, you should like her more."

While talking, he frowned, looking quite embarrassed. Serious look.

After he finished speaking, several others nodded. It seemed that they were all wondering about this matter just now.

Liu Susu was quite helpless. Was she worried for a long time in vain?

Although this is good, she still said: "Mom, of course you have to treat everyone equally, but you can like your sister more. From now on, your sister will have five brothers and sisters who care about her. Isn't it good?"

With that said, The children's confused expressions just now suddenly became clear.

Han Cheng smiled and said: "Then I will give all the delicious food to my sister in the future, and she will like me the most."

Han Xiuxiu disagreed: "My sister is a girl, and girls like headbands the most. I will give mine the headband I leave all the cards to my sister."

Han Cheng patted his belly and said disapprovingly: "Who said that food is the most important thing for the people, both boys and girls love to eat, my sister must like me the most!"

Han Qian He snorted: "Impossible, my sister likes me the most! I am the richest!"

Xiaolu was also unhappy: "I am the best, I can lead my sister to catch pheasants!"

Han Jin looked at this, looked at that, He laughed enigmatically: "I am the smartest!"

Everyone likes smart people!

Liu Susu: "..."

Good guy, are these still her humble and low-key children who are never proud or complacent? In an instant, it turned into a show of self-aggrandizement!

When she was stunned, she felt that her most powerful children had already started to quarrel. Seeing their little mouths chattering, Liu Susu's originally moved emotions immediately disappeared. She directly patted the bed and pointed at the door: "If you want to make a noise, Come out and make noise too!"

I still want to sleep!

The few little guys got out really quickly, walking with their short legs and stretching their necks. They were no different from fighting cocks.

As soon as the door closed, it became a lot quieter.

Liu Susu listened to the quarrel coming from the crack in the door, with a smile on her face. She took the pillow on one side and held it in her arms, "Why don't you come back?" ——Fortunately,

several

children were quarreling. It was noisy, but it was really good for my sister. From that day on, whether it was serving tea, serving water, picking up food, or putting on shoes, as long as they could do it for me, they would never let my mother get tired.

Liu Susu was also happy for them to do more work.

After resting for two days and drinking several Chinese medicines, my stomach pain stopped and I felt better, so I got out of bed and walked around.

Lu Lingzhi, Chen Nan and Zhong Yi heard that she was pregnant and came to see her several times. Although they knew that she was a mother, they still couldn't help but give some advice.

Liu Susu also had time to call Liu Shurong. After hearing that she was pregnant, Liu Shurong was so happy that she said she would take care of her.

Liu Susu said hurriedly: "Mom, don't come over in a hurry. It's cold now. Let's wait until the weather gets warmer. And with Second Aunt here, I feel quite relaxed now."

Liu Shurong must come over. Although Second Aunt Han is there, But there are still five children in the family, but again, the children are all grown up, and Liu Susu has not yet given birth. When the child is born, she will take care of her during the confinement period.

"Okay, then I will come back after the new year, but you must be careful..."

Liu Shurong was really worried. For the first time, he didn't care about the phone bill. He talked for several minutes, wishing that he could give instructions in every detail.

"Okay, okay, don't worry." Liu Susu said with a smile and went back.

As soon as she got home, Second Aunt Han brought a bowl of soup over: "Come on, Su Su, drink this bowl of pig's trotter soup quickly to warm yourself up." The

hot pig's trotter soup has cabbage in it, and it will definitely not make you feel tired. It was still very refreshing. Liu Susu took a sip and saw the pig's feet inside before she realized: "Auntie, are you going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy meat?" "

How can you not, there is no meat in the supply and marketing cooperative now? It's Sister-in-law Du from next door. , didn't she kill pigs at home? So I switched with her!" Second Aunt Han said.

Their family did not raise pigs this year, and the supply and marketing cooperatives and farms had very few pigs to sell. Basically, this year they ate the ham, chicken and rabbit meat they had made in the past.

However, there are also people who raise pigs in their homes, such as Sister-in-law Du's home not far away.

Even though their family would rather eat less, they worked hard to raise just one pig. When it was being killed, many people came looking for it and wanted to buy some meat.

After all, there is very little meat to buy from the breeding farms now. If Sister-in-law Du's family was not very sophisticated, this pig would not be able to grow big.

But no matter how precise it is, the food is in short supply and the pigs are not big.

Therefore, it was impossible to sell to so many people. Many people wanted to sell meat to Sister-in-law Du but refused because they still had a good relationship with Liu Susu. In addition, they heard that she was pregnant. As soon as Second Aunt Han went, Sister-in-law Du agreed to sell meat to her.

Not much, just one pig's foot and three pounds of meat.

"I'll save these pig's feet to make soup for you later. We'll wait until the Chinese New Year to eat the meat."

There is still some meat at home, but it's all dried in the sun and can't be used for soup. Liu Susu is too thin. Second Aunt Han is now tired Try your best to make up for her.

After Aunt Han finished speaking, she went to marinate the pig's feet first.

Liu Susu held the bowl and no longer thought about drinking soup. She looked at the calendar and suddenly realized that the Chinese New Year was coming soon before she knew it.

Han Lie...can you come back in time to celebrate the New Year?

——Perhaps

the more you want something, the harder it is to wait for it. What Liu Susu hopes most now is that Han Lie can come back early and celebrate the New Year with them.

But things backfired, and on the thirtieth day, Han Lie still didn't come back.

Liu Susu looked at the door of the yard, feeling a little sad in her heart, but she was afraid that her children would find out, so she didn't dare to show it. She kept smiling and preparing the New Year's Eve dinner with them.

Because she is pregnant this year, the New Year's Eve dinner is basically hosted by Second Aunt Han.

Second Aunt Han originally thought that the three kilograms of meat she bought this year would be a good way to celebrate the New Year. The rest should be stored in the cellar to save money. Otherwise, next year, she will really have nothing to eat and will be even more hungry. .

But Liu Susu knew that this year was the last year of the disaster. Now that the solar year had passed, it would rain soon in 1962.

I still have to have a good time during the Chinese New Year.

So I coaxed Aunt Han to bring more food. She said she wanted to bring more food. In fact, the cellar was mostly empty. There was only a little grain and a few other things left. Fortunately, the drought was over. Three years, otherwise even they wouldn't be able to survive it.

This year's reunion dinner was a patchwork of six dishes.

When he sat at the table, there was obviously an empty seat next to him. Xiaolu asked: "Mom, can we leave some food for dad?"

Liu Susu shook her head: "It's okay, let's eat first. Your dad doesn't know when he will be back. "

Second Aunt Han greeted quickly: "Come on, come and have a meal!"

Everyone ate lively and stayed together for a while. But they were all children. Second Aunt Han was old and Liu Susu was pregnant again, so they didn't stay up late. At about ten o'clock, they went to the room to sleep.

Lying in the warm quilt, Liu Susu hugged Han Lie's pillow, thinking that he might not be able to come back today.

But she couldn't tell for sure. Liu Susu waited and waited until she didn't know what time it was before she slowly fell asleep.

The next day is the first day of the Lunar New Year, a more lively day. This year, we basically stay in the military area. Every household comes and goes to pay New Year greetings. Children are running all over the streets. There is laughter and laughter everywhere. Everyone is working together. Have a good year and get through the most difficult time.

In the first month of the year, time flies by.

In a flash, it was the fifteenth day of the Lantern Festival, and there was still no news of Han Lie's return.

Liu Susu is not as anxious as she was some time ago. Recently, she has gained a little weight and her energy has improved. After all, the child is sensible and does not make trouble for her. She does not suffer from morning sickness or anything like this. She eats well, drinks well and rests well. Can you not be energetic?

Second Aunt Han was talking last night, saying that Liu Susu was lucky and that the baby might survive until the birth.

Liu Susu smiled and said that maybe she was really a girl inside, so considerate of her mother.

In the end, I don't know if it was too early to say it. Early that morning, before dawn, Liu Susu was woken up by pain.

It's not particularly painful, just uncomfortable.

She was startled at first, thinking something had happened. When she was about to get up and ask Aunt Han, she suddenly saw her stomach move.

She was stunned and worked together for a long time. It was the little guy in her belly that was kicking her.

Liu Susu thought it was amazing. It had been so long and the child hadn't moved much, but today he suddenly started moving around.

There was a smile on her face, and when she was about to turn on the light, she suddenly felt a very strange feeling in her heart. She couldn't explain what it was for the moment, but she just felt like something was on hold and she was a little panicked.

It was still very early, and Liu Susu didn't think about waking up Second Aunt Han and the others, so she got dressed herself, turned on the light, and prepared to go for a walk in the main room.

The room was very stuffy, and the first thing I did when I woke up was to open the door.

Liu Susu had opened this door countless times, and she could tell where the latch was without looking. But today, as soon as she opened a small door next to her, she suddenly froze on the spot.

Because she saw, in the distant morning light, which was not yet obvious, a tall and upright figure slowly walked over.

Liu Susu watched the figure getting closer and closer, and she could hear the sound of clothes rubbing together. She couldn't wait any longer and walked out quickly. The next second, she fell into a familiar figure. In arms.

"Why did you wake up?" Han Lie originally thought that he might wake them up when he came back so early, but he didn't expect that Liu Susu opened the door just as he reached the door of the yard.

Liu Susu hugged Han Lie tightly and said nothing until a gust of cold wind blew. Han Lie quickly turned to the side: "The wind has picked up, let's talk about it after we go in?" There was

still a chill on his body, and he originally planned to leave Liu Susu. Stay away, don't let her catch a cold, but I don't know what happened, but my wife seemed to be particularly enthusiastic today. As soon as she entered the room, she held his hand tightly, without any space.

Han Lie was a little worried: "What happened?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Liu Susu shook her head and stared at Han Lie for several times. She saw that the man was only thinner and darker, and was not injured, so she let go. Heart comes.

Han Lie thought that he had gone too long this time, and his wife was angry. He quickly helped her sit down and explained: "The place we went to this time..."

"You are going to be a father." Liu Susu interrupted him.

Han Lie was stunned: "Be a father?"

Hasn't he been a father for many years?

Why are you saying this suddenly?

Seeing that he was stunned and still hadn't reacted, Liu Susu couldn't help but curl her lips and put his hand on her stomach.

"No, wife, my hands are cold..." Before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt something move under his palm.

Han Lie:! !

He was completely stunned.

Her brain immediately shut down: "I, I, I..."

The child, who had been moving non-stop since early in the morning, seemed to have guessed that his father was back, and moved again, as if it was her little fist, across the belly. , said hello to dad outside for the first time.

It was cold in winter, so Liu Susu wore more clothes, and she was already thin. Han Lie didn't really notice anything wrong at first, but when he looked along his hand, he suddenly realized that his wife's belly was a lot bigger.

"Susu, I..."

He was still in disbelief. Liu Susu smiled and said, "Yes, you are going to be a father."

"I am going to be a father? I am going to be a father!"

At this moment, again Not caring about anything else, Han Lie directly hugged Liu Susu in his arms, with an excited smile on his face. He wanted to hold Liu Susu and spin around for a few times, but suddenly thought that his wife was pregnant, and quickly stopped.

He wanted to ask Liu Susu when he found out, whether the doctor said anything, and whether the child had troubled you in the past few days... But one question after another was mixed together, and in the end, he only asked the one thing he cared about most:

"Su Su Are you feeling well? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Liu Susu smiled and shook her head: "No, the child is very good."

After saying that, she found that she was still being held, and she blushed and was about to come out.

"Hold her for a little longer." Han Lie was just missing his wife, but now he found out that he was going to be a father, so he couldn't bear to let her go.

Liu Susu was so surprised to see him just now. Now that the surprise was over, she was afraid that his movement just now would wake the children up. It would be so embarrassing if the children came out and saw this scene.

Han Lie refused to let go, so she thought, just hold him for a while and let go as soon as the sound of the children getting up was heard.

But just as the thought came up, Liu Susu heard a rustling voice: "Hurry up! They're getting up!"

Liu Susu's back was facing the door of the room, but Han Lie could see clearly that the lights inside were They didn't even open the door: "They didn't get up. Wife, did you

hear wrongly?" Liu Susu looked and saw that they really hadn't gotten up, but she heard right. The sound did come out, right, right outside?

Liu Susu hurriedly walked to the door and took a look. She didn't find anything at first, but when she came to the edge of the corridor, she looked up -

among the gloomy clouds in the sky, a trace of drizzle suddenly fell. It was very small, but gradually it became bigger and bigger, and soon it turned into raindrops as big as beans, just like small hailstones, hitting the roof, corridors and the ground again and again, staining the One small watermark after another.

The sound of "bang bang bang" sounded in the early morning, disturbing the clear dreams of many people. Some of them had not yet had enough sleep. They put on their clothes and opened the door and wanted to teach the noisy guy early in the morning. As a result, they were blown away by the cold wind as soon as they went out. Had a cold war.

My eyes that were closed were frozen open. I was just thinking about going back to put on some clothes before settling the accounts. When I saw what those black dots on the ground were.

These one after another...are they raindrops?

As soon as he stretched out his hand, water drops densely hit his hand. This time, he was finally sure.

It's raindrops!

Really raindrops! !

"It's raining! It's raining!! It's finally raining!!!"

Not only one person noticed this scene, but after a while, there was a huge noise outside, waking up the little guys who were still in bed. .

Xiaolu rubbed her eyes on the bed and asked, "Mom, what's going on outside?"

Liu Susu looked at the raindrops falling on the ground like countless stars, and her eyes suddenly became sour. When she got up, she wanted to say a lot, and wanted to tell Han Lie and the children how happy she was, but in the end, there were only three words left in her words:

"It's raining."

It's raining, the most difficult day.

It's all over.

The author has something to say:

It's over! There will be two short stories later about Susu and the children living in the grassland! The baby is also coming out from behind! It won't be long~
